If an addict must receive vital help for drug and alcohol addiction and dependence and is fortunate enough to have health insurance, the vast majority drug and alcohol rehab programs in Cheltenham accept health insurance and will cooperate with people to find out which rehab services are covered. The majority of private health insurance companies cover outpatient and residential drug rehabilitation, but the timeframe which is covered can vary. Private health insurance will more than likely cover the first month of drug and alcohol rehab, although there are people whose plan is more extensive and could also extend to a more significant stay in an alcohol and drug treatment program. It is asked that potential clients consult with their insurance company as soon as possible in liaison with the rehab facility to figure out what is and what is not approved by their private health insurance.
